As a point of reference, I just looked at buying an 04 GXP, 21k miles, no HUD, had a sunroof, pearl white and was FLAWLESS. They originally wanted $21.000 and in 2 months have dropped it to $19500 or so. It had an intermediate shaft problem starting, but otherwise was a great car.

Hope you enjoy!!

Doug

You will feel and hear slight clicking and clunking in the steering column and wheel. See the links posted above - I think one is a video. The steering just doesn't feel or seem "tight".

Good luck.

Is this considered a "major problem" or can you continue to drive with it?
